Featured Crafter: Rebeca Shimansky from Spain

The Schimansky family from SpainDigital crafting is a rapidly growing hobby and/or profession for many women.  One of the women I’ve been so blessed to get to know over the last year is Rebeca.  She’s the wife of a Pastor in Spain and searched the internet to find art that she could use to create Christian Products to sell and help support their family and ministry.

My Mother has always been very encouraging, and it is wonderful to be able to create something beautiful that has a special message from the Bible.  Last year we were struggling financially, so we started thinking and praying about the possibility of really pushing Inspiraflor (Inspire-flower would be the translation, although it sounds better in Spanish.. =)

But I really wanted to be careful about the copyright laws, so I prayed that the Lord would guide me to the right site. Well after MUCH looking I found the DAISIE Company and their wonderful Angel Policy under which I knew I could operate, so I started making cards, calendars, bookmarkers, stickers, pictures, and several other items. I am truly amazed at how the Lord has led me and helped me.  LINK TO COMPLETE ARTICLE HERE”

AUDREY’S RESPONSE:  Producing art that young (or not so young) mothers can use to create products to help their families has been a dream fulfilled for me.  I was able to be home with my children because of crafting and wouldn’t have the career I have today were it not for the wonderful craft shows I was able to sell my wares at.  If you are a crafter or professional crafter I’d love to hear your stories and just might feature some more of them if the response is strong enough.

On the business end, I have two new kits up in the store today.  AUTUMN GLORY 1 DIGITAL CLIP ART KIT Link here and AUTUMN GLORY 1 PAPER PACK Link here are now available.   You can see the previews above.  I’ll be uploading my fonts next, so stay tuned!
